Question 111930: Hi, I am working on an inequality word problem and I would like to know ifthis is right. I appreciate your help on this. Here it is: Translate the following statements into inequalities. Let x represent the number in each case.
Here is the problem; 2 times a number, increased by 28, is less than or equal to 6 times that number.
The equation I have is this; 2x+28<6 (there should be a line under the "greater than sign" as well)
I hope I explained this well for you. Thank you for your input.

You are close. However, the "6" should be "6x" since is the left side is "less than or equal to 6 times that number"

So it should be

2x%2B28%3C=6x
